My wedding ring cost $12.20 from Amazon, including $5 shipping, love the stainless steel if I had to have something... Depends on your significant other. I didn't want to spend anything on a ring for getting engaged, I really don't understand it, but my wife wanted something nice she could look down at and smile for the rest of her life. It's all about compromise. I ended up buying a GIA certified 1.13 carat platinum diamond ring on Craigslist for $6k, figured she was getting what she wanted, it was a pretty good bang for your buck I guess, and I didn't feel I was supporting the diamond industry, just recycling. #compromise.
